MRI KUB + Urogram – Contrast is an advanced MRI examination that provides detailed contrast-enhanced imaging of the kidneys, ureters, and urinary bladder to evaluate urinary tract obstruction, hydronephrosis, strictures, tumors, infections, congenital abnormalities, and other urological conditions, supporting accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.

A gadolinium-based intravenous contrast agent enhances the kidneys and urinary tract, helping visualize abnormal tissue enhancement, tumors, inflammation, infection, and other urinary tract abnormalities more clearly.
MRI is not usually the first-choice imaging test for detecting small urinary stones. Ultrasound or CT may be more appropriate for stone detection, depending on the clinical situation. MRI can, however, demonstrate complications such as obstruction or hydronephrosis.
Both examinations have different strengths. CT Urography is often preferred for urinary stones and certain detailed urinary tract evaluations, while MRI provides excellent soft-tissue contrast without ionizing radiation. Your doctor will recommend the most appropriate examination based on your clinical condition.
Depending on the findings, your doctor may recommend urine or blood tests, ultrasound, CT urography, cystoscopy, additional MRI, or consultation with a urologist or nephrologist.
